And Henry, the fifth of that name, became somewhat excited as well. But please, in answer to Westmoreland, don't send the UK's striking workers over here to France.
Tom: Funny that....now why is it that we feel that it is always the French who are on strike? I live in Kent (Ashford) and our lives are often made a misery when French fishermen blockade ports like Calais, shutting down the ferries from Dover and causing mayhem on Kent roads when the M20 motorway is used as a 20 mile lorry park and traffic diverted onto local roads! Anyway, we have a lot less strikes these days. Whatever the opinion of Maggie Thatcher, she did sort out the unions.

Hello, Avus. I was actually in the UK last month - a business trip to Bristol. I went back to my blog to find something I wrote and noticed you were the only person to comment on my last post.
I'm still around, still riding my bike, not yet retired twice, or even once.

Yes, though I fear I am somewhat distracted by his hair style. It looks quite labour-intensive and thus not convenient for camping.
Good cheek-bones, too.
And terrific words.
